Sea For Soul

Healing ocean blues.

Sea For Soul

Spending a week down by the beach has reminded me why I always crave the sound of the waves crashing against the sand. The calmest, peaceful sound of the healing blue waves has shifted my thoughts into a state of simplicity. Enjoying all that life has to offer often means freeing yourself from all worry and responsibility, and reflecting on the simple pleasures of life. There are moments of peace that you feel while watching the waves crash against the shore, it's a moment of complete serenity. Undoubtedly there is no better medicine than the ocean.

How to detach and heal by the breeze.

The Waves

Gently crashing against the sand, I wake up to the sound of the waves each morning. Waking up naturally by the comforting sound of the ocean's natural motion, I start each of my days off on a positive correlation of the waves reaching the shore -- I am reaching for a new opportunity to find my inner peace.

The Sand

Tiny particles dusted in tan, gray and black fill the spaces in between my toes. I crunch down onto the soft sand, creating peaks and valleys in the sand. The sand is endless and bountiful. Concentrated solely on the tiny particles, I loose myself as my mind freely flows with all of the sand particles.

The Sunset

A beautiful masterpiece of neon colors splash the night without effort every night. My Nana always said, "Everyone should watch the sunset each night, no matter how many times they have before." Moments of appreciation, gazing up at the sky forces us to recognize that our thoughts cannot be trapped within us alone. The sunset symbolizes freedom and hopes that one day we can paint our own real life masterpieces of happiness.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
